I worked with APIs during my internship and in class, but I was confused about how they worked, since the way I used APIs in each case was extremely different. Everything clicked after watching this video, thanks!

Thanks for the video. One question. When you put the link in your browser you didn’t add your api key but the json data still shows. Why is that? I thought api key is needed to show the data??? Thanks
